Biogenic polymer-based patches for congenital cardiac surgery: a feasibility study

ObjectiveCurrently used patch materials in congenital cardiac surgery do not grow, renew, or remodel. Patch calcification occurs more rapidly in pediatric patients eventually leading to reoperations. Bacterial cellulose (BC) as a biogenic polymer offers high tensile strength, biocompatibility, and h...
